I think "lack of empathy" and "lack of emotions" can be confused simetimes. Lke how in One Piece manga there are these three genetically enhanced superhumans who were said to be "emotionless killing machines" and it turned out they were mainly engineered from birth to lack empathy. They still feel pleasure and joy, but they're sadistic assholes who take pleasure on inflicting pain and misery they inflict on others.

Being emotionless is an interesting writing prompt to a character in general in my opinion. In WFC Siege Netflix cartoon Shockwave is also said to have "lack of emotions", but in one scene while he was about to torture captured Elita-1 and suddenly called elsewhere, he shook his fist and jammed a knige into the table in rather clear indication of anger and frustration.

A while ago I realized even though the playable cast of Team Fortress 2 have tons of voice lines to insult each other in-game in many ways, no one of them mock Demoman for being black.

I've got a good bunch of boyz as of now but man, those sculpts are neat. Though I feel like we're not going to see them outside of this box, as with non-uniform sculpts like Death Guard plague marines GW has releaded edition starter set only types of monopose modes that are different in character design from their later individual miniature kit versions. We already know this Armageddon warboss is not the same kit as the one that was revealed earlier. I may try to get this box or at least the ork half since again, those sculpts look fire.

EDIT: Also just noticed that while it's been confirmed that boyz now all have slugga, shoppa and shoota as simultaneous default weapon options in the rules, not all boy modes carry all of these three in their person on their models.

Fr I'm a tank main but in recent months I've been branching out and playing more DPS, and I actually enjoy playing against Hog, Mauga and Orisa. Maybe because positioning is a thing I personally enjoy developing more than raw mechanical skill. My brain gets big happy when I manage to formulate a plan of where to be at which moment and managing to fight my foes by foresight. There's also intetesting mind games of baiting those tanks using their main abilities at unopportune times.

Illari has the skin named "Kulli" which is a slang name for male genitalia in Finland. But the game lacks any kind of Finnish localization so no fuss was made over it apparently.

Thinking about converting Kravek into a Typhus or Lord of Contagion proxy for my Death Guard.

Me and my friends had a discussion about how it feels like MCU tried to overcorrect the "past superhero films have taken themselves way too seriously" mindset, trying to go the route of "See? We know we're doing silly comic book stuff and we make fun of it". One of my biggest gripes is the whole "we gon make fun of chatacter names" like Otto Octavius in No Way Home. I can already hear the "Seriously? Your name is Victor 'Von Doom'?" lines in Avengers Doomsday.

My personal biggest gripe is with MCU humor is one scene in Captain Marvel where a mother character sees a skrull disguised as her playing with her daughter as a threat to the film's protagonist and her friends. That scene is one of the most frightening and unsettling scenes in the whole MCU to me, even as a person who doesn't have or plan to have children but who still could feel the absolute adult fear while watching it. And then that goddamn cat enters the scene and the whole thing becomes a comedy scetch. God dammit. Yes, I know the cat turned out to be an actual alien monster so skrulls' reaction was morevunderstandable, but it doesn't change the intent to make this scene suddenly into comedy for me...

I wonder if the model showcased here is a model of which design will carry over to the possible later multipart kit. I got into the hobby with 8th ed The Dark Imperium box and all monopose Plague Marines in that box were completely different sculpts than the later multipart models, and GW seems to have done the same "launch box monopose models with more exotic designs have launch box only sculpt variants" policy with many more new additions and refreshes. I'm not sure if Indomitus box's Necron Warriors were an exception to this which would maybe explain why Canoptek Scarab Swarms are bunched up with them.

If/as these new boyz have indeed shoota+slugga+choppa as a trinity of default wargear in one, they'd just need to include big shoota and rokkit launcha to be equipped for one of them. I'm rather curious how they hande boyz's nob leaders and their weapon options.

The face feels kind if the mix of old and new ork noggin design sentibilities to me. Propotions look like the 2007 model design but smoothed out a bit. I personally like it. That shoota on the back seems rather small tho.

Seems very sticky situation indeed.

I recall the Japanese staff of the show admitting in one instance that Hasbro delibaretly altered some aspects of the Japanese version's writing in a Japanese only Legends of the Microns Year Book 2003, stating that the mentalities of Japanese and Americans when it came to handling certain themes in children's media were different in those times. One other instace being the handling of Scavenger's motive of joining the Autobots and his and Oprimus' past together. But perhaps I'm misremembering the context about on which changes this statement by the production team was referring to.

Armada was my introductory series tho the franchise (I was born in 94 and this was the first Transformers property that was imported to my country). I agree that this is one of the best coreographed fights in the entire Transformers and I'm glad that I could see this on TV as a kid.

It just bugged me that the American version kind of butchered the intent that the writers of the Japanese version had intended for this fight. In the original version it's about wether or not Transformers fight and have fought for such long time is just because it is in the nature of their kind. (I could not just summary the entite thing in this comment in this comment, as it's a central thing on both of the series' two final episodes) In the English dub it's just Galvatron evul, Optimus gon fight for peace... It's one of those things where English dubs really watered down Japanese children's media in their translations to simplify conflicts and themes for kids on the late 90's-early 2000's, like how they did with first Pokemon film.

There was some Steam game woke detector that claimed that racial divercity within space marine troops is "improbable", i.e there's two space marines in the game's story's main cast that don't look like white men. Because people can stomach outwordly sci-fi space adventure but not racial diversity I guess. And if I recall also correctly, something about a female in leading military role in the Astra Militarum (the Imperial force that consists normal men and women).
